I'll Have the Special! September 18, 1999
18 out of 20 found this review helpful
Episode 7 is supposed to be the final episode of the first OVA series (1-7) but since the first episode of the "infinity" series starts on episode 8 and ends on 13, I do not consider these two universes, but one OVA series consisting of episodes 1-13 and that's how most everyone sees it anyways. So, Episode 7 has Ryoko and Ayeka fighting over Tenchi again and this time, Mihoshi leaves for the Galaxy Police. This was a trick by Ryoko to get Mihoshi out of the picture and to eliminate her as a candidate for Tenchi's love. While Ryoko just wants to sleep with Tenchi, Ayeka's objective is to stop her at all costs. This episode is to good to miss. Out of everything that is Tenchi Muyo, this is my favorite! This Video also includes the Mihoshi special. For some Reason, they didn't include this special on the Tenchi Muyo Ultimate OVA DVD. You can only get it on this tape so buy it now and have it in your collection! The Mihoshi special is about Mihoshi telling a story from one of her galaxy police missions. It's mainly about Ryoko and Washu in a crime operation of stealing ultra energy matter with Mihoshi and Kiyone being hired by Ayeka to capture Ryoko for stealing Tenchi away who is also a GP officer. Later When Pretty Sammy comes around, things get more interesting. I like the ending music of the Pretty Sammy Theme. It sounds best in japanese but the english version is alright. I say buy this video now because of "the night before the carnival" (my favorite) and Just so you can have a copy of the Mihoshi special since it's not even on the DVD That costs 83 Bucks.

I used to love watching this show on cartoon network when I was just 12 years old, it had a good story, funny charecters, and plenty of action! I've missed it alot over the years, and have wanted to see it again alot since then. I wasnt sure what to expect when I bought this DVD, but now that I've seen it, I'm glad that I bought it. It's the same old show that I used to love! Sure, it's uncut, but not much has changed...
Yes, the last episode on this DVD contains nudity, and lots of it, but it's nothing worse than the nudity in Disney's Fantasia movie, so dont let that stop you from buying it.
This DVD is 120 minutes long.
Contains 4 episodes.
Plays in either Japanese or English language.
Subtitles in English are available.
Tenchi Muyo is a highly entertaining and wonderful series! It has some really nice art work, a graet story, and it's alot of fun to watch. Tenchi Muyo is also one of the few shows that successfully blends comedy with action, in most shows where they try to blend comedy with action it just ends up looking inappropriate. Tenchi however, blends the two perfectly, and doesnt leave you feeling confused. I highly recommend buying this DVD, it's a great show and lots of fun to watch!

If you're a big Tenchi fan, I definitly reccommend this tape! It's sooooooooo funny, and I can gauruntee it will amuse you. It contains eps. #7 and the Mihoshi Special, both hilarious. Episode 7, "The Night Before the Carnival," contains the "Nurse Washu" segment, which will have u rolling on the floor with laughter. BUY IT!!!!

Amazing. This is just one of THOSE series. This is something that just took everything to a brand new level. "Tenchi Muyo" was a real trend setter for Japanese anime and marked Pioneer as one of the true, ahem, "Pioneers" in anime. The animation is FLAWLESS, as is the superb DVD production by Pioneer. What you have here is a hybrid anime that used many of the qualities of other good animes and improved upon all of them while, at the same time, adding its own unique touch. Tenchi Muyo is a sci-fi show, a love comedy, and an anime drama all at the same time. Everything flows together and the planning and execution of this series is breathtaking to behold. The music, animation, directing, and story coalesce into something that is just really special. When animes like this started showing up in America around 1995, it was a golden moment for young people. One warning, though. I need to warn parents about this anime. There is nudity in the last episode, so you might want to keep this away from your child until they turn 18. It's not GROSS nudity, however, it's there, for sure. Thanks, Pioneer.
